I mean, you could think everyone being critical of Null is some anime lover, but I actually think burning bridges with Metokur, Kirsche and by consequence, Asmongold, when there's a whole ecosystem forming that would've been friendly to Josh, is probably a lot more of a failure than any of his Blocklands-posting.
Which brings me to another observation pertinent to this topic, why Null is seemingly determined to isolate himself and make the rest of the internet move on without him? Who cares if he posted edgy shit when he was a teenigger? He needs to get over it. If anything betrays his inability to be morally solid, it's that he can't maintain a relationship, and that he squanders every connection or chance at a network that he could build.
And is this really who he wants to be surrounded by? People who think he's turned his life around completely? From what exactly? Looking at shota as a child? Ok I didn't think that was something he had to turn his life around from, I thought it was more like an embarrassing factoid from back when no one gave a fuck about lolicon or shotacon, it was just a part of internet subculture.
If he'd rather surrounded himself with anonymous farmers, instead of extend the same benefit of the doubt I just gave him, that's his choice, I guess. But I know what it's like to be a self-isolating retard because you want to be righteous about everything, and its fucking gay and sucks ass. And he will regret burning the bridge with Metokur.
Kirsche probably isn't a pedo, and fuck it, Synthetic Man probably isn't either. Jim certainly fucking isn't. Just compare them to any case we actually can draw on for an example. For fuck's sake Josh himself has probably seen enough pedos in his threads on the farms to realize that they are
infantilized psychos who cannot even watch scary movies. Just based on the examples his site provides, I think its unlikely that a pedo marries
a fucking camgirl. Do he actually think Jim is defending lolicons? Is this really how he wants to carry on his relationship with a dying man? Okay, then. But most people online don't know Kiwi Farm's very specific ideological framework when it comes to lolicon and shotacon, and he can't expect other users in other parts of the internet to conform to something they aren't aware of. And he certainly can't expect people to purge their own communities and livelihood because he has certain feels about a thing that's controversial. Let's be real, he is only so fixated on it because it embarrasses him, and he had to tolerate incessant pornography as an internet janny. (Not an insult. I remember how much of a toll that shit would take on Spardot on 420chan, it's 100% a thing and she banned porn from /b/ over it. I sympathize with Null on that part, porn ruins internet communities, it's a fact.) But he's making a mistake, cutting off his nose to spite his face. And isn't it him, who comments all the time, that he can't be allowed to have any friends or connections? Well that's his doing, and no one elses. And personally, I hope Metokur, a man whose dying, doesn't waste a second of his time or energy on Josh, whose nothing but a lonely wretch. I hope he never gets the chance to make amends with Jim and it eats at him.
But let me reiterate for the record: I don't think Josh is a shotacon, even if he has no problem with people slandering Jim and his fans as a lolicons, but I do think he's an idiot whose sacrificing connections he could build, because he doesn't see eye to eye with everyone on everything. (Unless its Chemo Casino who fuck over and abandon their viewers, then its time to cope and sneed about why Andy Warski didn't watch CP.)
And you guys know if Null actually saw this argument, he would ignore the crux of the argument itself (which is about self-isolation) in favor of disregarding it, probably saying "I didn't call anyone pedos!" Which would be true, but he hosts threads that function as dossiers, insisting that they are pedos. He wanted Synthetic Man to purge a 1/3rd of his audience, and he bodied Synth when he ignored such an absurd request. Well, I'd like to see Null purge every underaged anime avatar from the site and from MATI. He won't put his money where his mouth is, despite expecting it from other content creators. But he will shoot himself in the foot because he's compensating and easily embarrassed. And it really is a missed opportunity too, because people on his site did like Kirsche, and she has the ear of Asmon, whose gotten paid to stream on X by Elon Musk directly. I thought Null wanted the site to go mainstream? Well that starts with building bridges, not burning them. Too late now though, I guess. I hope he enjoys having Lidl back, because no one else is going to want to associate with him.
